Report  on  Commercial  Fertilizers,  1921 

By  E.  H.  Jenkins,  Director,  and  E.  M.  Bailey, 
Chemist  in  Charge  of  the  Analytical  Laboratory. 

We  desire  here  to  emphasize  certain  points  regarding  the  law 
and  the  gratuitous  analysis  of  fertilizers,  which  do  not  seem  to  be 
fully  understood  by  those  concerned.  Complete  understanding  of 
these  points  will  greatly  increase  the  effectiveness  of  our  work 
and  its  value,  both  to  sellers  and  users  of  fertilizers. 

What  is  required  of  all  who  sell  commercial  fertilizers  in  this  state? 

The  seller  is  responsible  for  the  proper  labeling  of  each  pack- 
age, as  provided  in  Section  i  of  the  law,  for  the  registration  at  the 
Station  of  every  brand  sold  by  him  and  for  the  payment  of  the 
analysis  fee,  before  offering  for  sale,  and  annually  thereafter  on 
January  ist. 

The  seller  must  also,  on  the  ist  of  January  and  July,  report 
the  tonnage  of  fertilizer  sold  within  the  preceding  six  months  and 
pay  to  the  director  of  the  Station  a  tonnage  fee  of  6  cents  per  ton. 

On  request,  copies  of  the  law  and  blanks  for  registration  and 
for  tonnage  reports  will  be  supplied  by  the  Station. 

//_,  however,  proper  labeling,  registration  and  payments  have 
been  provided  for  by  the  manufacturer  of  the  brands  or  by 
another  responsible  person,  all  sellers  of  such  brands  are  released 
from  the  above  mentioned  requirements.  The  retailer,  therefore, 
should  assure  himself  that  the  requirements  of  the  law  have  been 
met  by  the  manufacturers  of  the  brands  zvhich  he  handles,  or  liim- 
self  be  prepared  to  meet  all  these  requirements. 

What  is  required  of  persons  draiving  samples  for  analysis? 

The  Station  every  year  analyzes  a  large  number  of  samples  sent 
by  individuals,  representing  fertilizers  bought  b}'  them  for  their 
own  use.  The  object  of  the  sender  is  to  learn  whether  the  ferti- 
lizer contains  all  that  is  guaranteed,  and,  if  it  does  not.  to  provide 
evidence  for  a  claim  against  the  seller.  It  is  absolutely  necessary 
that,  the  sample  should  be  taken  essentially  in  the  way  prescribed 
by  the  law  and  in  tlie  presence  of  a  witness.  If  this  is  not  done, 
it  will  be  difficult  to  prove  the  fairness  of  the  sample,  the  Station 
will  have  been  put  to  useless  expense  and  the  analysis  of  the 
sample  will  not  be  of  any  value  to  the  sender.  Therefore,  the 
Station  will  supply  to  any  applicant  a  form  which  describes 
the  method  of  sampling  and  on  which  the  sample  should  be  fully 
described.     This  description  should  be  sent  to  the  Station  with 


2  2  CONNECTICUT   EXPERIMENT    STATION    BULLETIN    233. 

(not  in)  the  sample.  It  thus  makes  the  analysis  of  public  interest 
and  value,  which  is  the  only  justification  for  doing  the  work  at 
state  expense,  and  it  is  the  only  way  by  which  it  is  possible  for  the 
sender  to  learn  the  true  composition  of  the  stock  sampled  and  to 
prove  its  composition  if  a  claim  for  rebate  is  made. 

The  Station  desires  to  know  the  retail  cash  ton  price  of  each  fer- 
tilizer but,  if  so  requested,  will  not  publish  the  information. 


In  1921,  76  individuals  and  firms  registered  for  sale  in  this  state 
544  brands  of  commercial  fertilizers,  classified  as  follows : 

Nitrogenous  superphosphates   330

A  review  of  the  analyses  which  follow  shows  these  facts  regarding 
the  cost  to  consumers  of  the  plant  food  bought  in  fertilizer  chemicals 
and  raw  materials. 

Ammonium  sulphate  has  been  the  cheapest  source  of  fertilizer 
nitrogen  this  year;  the  cost  of  nitrogen  per  pound  ranging  from  22.3 
to  17.2  cents  per  pound,  the  average  cost  being  19  cents. 

Nitrate  of  soda  has  come  next,  its  nitrogen  in  the  samples 
examined  ranging  in  price  from  28.1  to  ig.i  cents  per  pound,  the 
average  being  23.4  cents. 

In  cotton  seed  meal  nitrogen  has  cost  about  36  cents  per  pound  but 
the  cost  has  varied  very  greatly. 

In  castor  pomace  nitrogen  has  cost  45.1  cents  per  pound. 

In  fish  scrap,  if  10  cents  per  unit  is  allowed  for  bone  phosphate, 
nitrogen  has  cost  38.6  cents  per  pound  as  the  average,  the  cost  ranging 
from  46.3  to  24  cents. 

Phosphoric  acid  in  ground  raw  rock  has  cost  3  cents  per  pound. 

In  precipitated  bone,  available  phosphoric  acid  has  cost  8.5  cents  per 
pound  as  an  average,  prices  ranging  from  9.5  to  7.5  cents. 

In  acid  phosphate  available  phosphoric  acid  has  cost  9.5  cents  per 
pound  as  an  average,  prices  ranging  from  11.7  cents  to  6.9  cents. 

Water-soluble  potash  in  both  muriate  and  sulphate  has  cost  about  11 
cents  per  pound.

The  costs  of  nitrate  of  soda  here  reported  have  ranged  from 
$85.00  to  $60.00  per  ton,  but  it  has  been  bought  in  the  late  spring 


SULPHATE    OF   AMMONIA.  37 

at  considerably  lower  prices.  Since  the  beginning  of  the  year  the 
wholesale  New  York  price  fell  from  $65.00  to  $40.00  per  ton. 
With  the  exception  of  sulphate  of  ammonia,  nitrate  of  soda  has 
been  the  cheapest  and  most  profitable  form  of  nitrogen  in  our 
market. 

The  average  cost  of  nitrogen  in  the  samples  here  reported  has  been 
23.4  cents  per  pound,  ranging  from  19. i  to  28.1  cents. 

One  sample,  16772,  sold  by  the  Piedmont-Mt.  Airy  Guano  Co., 
failed  to  meet  the  guaranty  of  15.23  per  cent,  of  nitrogen.  It 
contained  only  13.88  per  cent. 


SULPHATE  OF  AAIMONIA. 

Nine  samples  were  analyzed  as  follows :

38  CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT    STATION    BULLETIN    233.    . 

From  January  to  August  the  wholesale  price  fell  about  33  per 
cent. 

Here  again  the  only  sample  below  guaranty,  16773,  was  sold 
by  the  Piedmont-Mt.  Airy  Guano  Co.  and  had  0.3  per  cent,  less 
nitrogen  than  was  guaranteed. 

COTTON  SEED  MEAL. 

In  a  following  table  are  analyses  of  318  samples,  the  larger  part 
of  which  represented  car  lots.  The  amount  of  cotton  seed  meal 
bought  and  used  as  a  fertilizer  in  this  state  during  the  year  cannot 
be  far  from  fifteen  thousand  tons. 


Guaranties. 

Of  267  samples  in  which  the  guaranty  is  known,  32  failed  to 
meet  their  guaranties,  but  14  of  these  were  deficient  by  less  than 
0.2  per  cent.  Those  samples  which  had  a  larger  deficiency  are 
the  following:

In  considering  the  larger  number  of  deficiencies  in  meal  sold 
by  Humphreys-Godwin  Co.,  it  must  be  noted  that  the  number  of 
samples  of  their  goods  is  very  much  larger  than  that  of  others  and 
that  the  percentage  of  deficiencies  is  a  little  less  than  the  average. 


Composition. 

The  percentage  of  nitrogen  has  ranged  from  5.5  to  8.1 1  and 
the  average  of  193  samples,  in  which  the  nitrogen  found,  nitrogen 
guaranteed  and  cost  are  all  given,  is  6.3,  which  is  slightly  lower 
than  the  average  last  year.

Cost. 

The  price  of  cotton  seed  meal,  in  common  with  that  of  all  ferti- 
lizers, has  fluctuated  wildly  since  the  summer  of  1920.  It  was 
quoted  in  car  lots  f.o.b.  factory  at  $30.00  in  January,  1921,  at 
$26.00  in  May  and  $35.00  in  September.  The  wholesale  prices 
prior  to  January  were  much  higher.  In  the  late  spring,  cut-prices 
prevailed.  The  car-lot  prices  to  Connecticut  buyers  have  ranged 
from  $70.00  to  $36.00. 

The  average  cost  per  ton  of  193  lots  in  this  state  was  $44.32  and  the 
average  cost  per  pound  of  nitrogen  was  36  cents.

PRECIPITATED  BONE  PHOSPHATE. 

This  is  a  manufacturing  by-product,  in  fine  mechanical  condi- 
tion, containing  from  30  to  40  per  cent,  of  phosphoric  acid,  most 
of  it  in   "available'"    form. 

The  analyses  of  twenty  samples  are  given  in  the  table.  There 
appear  to  be  three  distinct  grades ;  four  samples  contained  38  per 
cent,  or  more  of  available  phosphoric  acid,  ten  contained  from  33 
to  38  per  cent.,  four  from  30  to  32,  and  two  under  30  per  cent. 

Most  of  this  phosphate  was  sold  at  a  stated  price  "per  unit"  of 
available  phosphoric  acid,  as  shown  by  analysis,  a  "unit"  being  20 
pounds  or  one  per  cent. 

In  these  samples  the  price  has  ranged  from  7^/2  to  g]/^  cents  per 
pound  for  available  phosphoric  acid. 

15784  is  of  inferior  quality  selling  at  a  high  price,  unless  the 
quotation  is  at  retail  for  small  amounts. 

17446  was  found  by  a  trade  chemist  to  contain  39.92  per  cent, 
of  available  phosphoric  acid  and  a  somewhat  larger  percentage  of 
total  phosphoric  acid  than  this  Station  found.  The  difference 
probably  is  explained  by  a  difference  in  the  method  of  extraction, 
the  method  used  here  being  prescribed  by  the  fertilizer  law.

DISSOLVED    ROCK    PHOSPHATE.  57 

DISSOLVED  ROCK  PHOSPHATE  OR  ACID  PHOSPHATE. 

The  analyses  of  28  samples  are  given  in  table  VIII. 

The  guaranty  is  the  same  in  all  cases,  except  17186,  sold  by  the 
Virginia-^Carolina  Chemical  Co.,  in  which  20  per  cent,  "available" 
was  guaranteed  and  18.87  P^r  cent,  was  found. 

Two  other  samples,  17051,  from  the  American  Agricultural 
Chemical  Co.,  and  17019,  from  the  Coe-Mortimer  Co.,  did  not 
meet  their  guaranties. 

The  cost  of  available  phosphoric  acid  to  the  farmer  in  21  samples 
ranged  from  6.9  to  11. 7  cents  per  pound  and  averaged  9.4  cents. 

During  the  last  year  the  price  of  acid  phosphate  has  been  very 
high  and  almost  prohibitive  until  the  market  broke  and  forced 
sales  reduced  the  price  from  $30.00  or  more  to  less  than  $20.00. 

The  wholesale  price  of  acid  phosphate  in  bulk,  f.o.b.  N.  Y., 
was  $16.00  in  Januar}^  and  $12.50  in  the  following  September.

IV.     MATERIALS  CONTAINING  NITROGEN 

AND  POTASH. 

NITRAPO. 

16475.  Sold  by  Nitrate  Agencies  Co.,  New  York.  Sent  by 
S.  R.  MacDonald,  Atlantic  City,  N.  J.  Found  to  contain  14.88 
per  cent,  nitrogen  and  16.01  per  cent,  potash. 

17270.  Sold  by  Nitrate  Agencies  Co.,  New  York.  Stock  of 
E.  N.  Austin,  Suffield.  Found  to  contain  9.96  per  cent,  nitrogen 
and  18.24  per  cent,  potash;  guaranteed  14.80  nitrogen,  15  potash. 
Sold  for  $107.00  per  ton. 

One  sample  of  NitraPo  meets  its  guaranty,  the  other  is  far 
below  it  in  nitrogen. 

One  sample  contained  0.18  per  cent,  of  borax,  the  other  0.39 
per  cent. 

NitraPo  is  said  to  be  a  by-product  in  the  refining  of  nitrate  of 
soda  and  should  be  an  excellent  source  of  both  nitrogen  and 
potash,  if  the  amount  of  borax  present  is  inconsiderable. 

NITRATE  OF  POTASH. 

16884.  Sent  by  J.  L.  Watrous,  Middlefield.  Found  to  contain 
12.56  per  cent,  of  nitrogen  and  42.92  per  cent,  of  potash. 

17386.  Sold  by  Witherbee,  Sherman  &  Co.,  New  York.  Sam- 
pled from  stock  of  M.  L.  Coleman,  Cheshire.  Found  to  contain 
12.47  psi"  cent,  of  nitrogen  and  43.40  per  cent,  of  potash.

Cost. 

As  with  other  fertilizer  chemicals,  the  price  of  fish  to  the  farmer 
has  varied  widely.  In  the  samples  received  here  the  highest  price 
was  $91.00  and  the  lowest  $48.33.  The  usual  fluctuations  in  the 
regular  market  have  been  increased  by  "resales,"  "forced  sales," 
etc. 

Allowing  ID  cents  per  unit  of  bone  phosphate,  the  cost  of  nitrogen 
has  ranged  from  46.3  cents  to  24  cents  per  pound.  The  average  is 
38.6  cents. 

The  fish  scrap  has  been  of  higher  grade  than  it  was  last  year, 
the  average  percentages  of  nitrogen  and  phosphoric  acid  being 
9.11  and  7.78  respectively,  as  against  8.33  and  6.01  last  year.

SLAUGHTER  HOUSE  TANKAGE. 

Analyses  of  20  samples  appear  in  table  XI. 

The  mechanical  analyses  show  that  some  of  these  tankages  are 
very  coarse  and,  therefore,  not  so  readily  available  to  crops  as  they 
would  be  if  more  finely  ground.

Tankage  is  a  general  name  used  for  any  dried  animal  refuse 
and  it  varies  greatly  in  composition  and  fertilizing  value,  which 
depend  on  the  kind  of  refuse  used  and  the  process  of  rendering  it. 
Thus,  in  these  samples  nitrogen  ranges  from  3}^  to  8  per  cent, 
and  phosphoric  acid  from  5  to  23^  per  cent.  It  is,  therefore,  not 
possible,  as  in  the  case  of  most  other  raw  materials,  to  make  a 
statement  of  average  composition. 

Garbage  Tankage  17719,  sent  by  J.  A.  Martin,  Wallingford, 
contained  2.31  per  cent,  of  nitrogen  and  3.26  per  cent,  of  phos- 
phoric acid.  Its  commerical  value  was  requested  by  the  sender. 
The  nitrogen  of  such  material  is  not  very  available,  though  its 
solubility  varies  a  good  deal  with  the  variations  in  the  quality  of 
the  garbage.  Neither  the  nitrogen  nor  the  phosphoric  acid  of 
garbage  can  be  worth  more  than  half  as  much  as  they  are  in  nitrate

of  soda  and  acid  phosphate.  We  consider  that  twelve  cents  for 
nitrogen  and  five  for  phosphoric  acid  per  pound  would  be  the 
upper  limit  for  their  valuation  in  this  material. 


BONE  MANURES. 

Thirty-three  samples  of  these  manures  have  been  analyzed  this 
year. 

Six  samples  failed  to  meet  their  nitrogen  guaranty  and  two 
failed  in  phosphoric  acid,  but  in  every  case  the  deficiency  in  one 
ingredient  was  more  than  met  in  money  value  by  the  overrun  in 
the  other.

As  a  rule  the  bone  manures  are  in  finer  mechanical  state  than 
are  tankages,  only  9  of  the  32  having  less  than  half  their  weight 
coarser  than  1/50  inch.  Specially  fine  is  Rogers  &  Hubbard's, 
Pure  Raw  Knuckle  Bone  Flour,  in  which  97  per  cent,  is  finer 
than  1/50  inch. 

In  the  samples  examined  the  average  percentages  of  nitrogen  and 
phosphoric  acid  are  2.95  and  24.35  respectively  and  the  average  cost  ot 
26  samples  is  $56.44.

A  sample  labeled  "Potash,"  16968,  sent  by  E.  S.  Seymour, 
Suffield,  and  stated  to  have  been  bought  of  Olds  &  Whipple,  Hart- 
ford, for  $66.30  per  ton,  contained  5.94  per  cent,  of  phosphoric 
acid  and  14.60  per  cent,  of  potash.  This  has  the  composition  of 
O.  &  W's  Phosphate  and  Potash  Compound. 

NITROGENOUS  SUPERPHOSPHATES  WITHOUT  POTASH. 

Thirty-eight  samples  of  this  class  have  been  analyzed  with  the 
results  given  in  Table  XIII. 

Of  these  17251  was  sent  by  G.  A,  Peckham,  Suffield,  stated  to 
be  Rogers  &  Hubbard's  Soluble  Corn  &  General  Crop.  This  is 
not  representative  of  any  brand  as  we  have  been  advised  that  it 
was  bought  several  years  ago  and  probably  its  composition  has 
changed  during  storage. 

Differences  in  Grade  and  Cost  of  Nitrogen. 

Of  the  samples  examined,  6  we  class  as  low  grade  containing  less 
than  2.5  per  cent,  of  nitrogen,  13  we  class  as  of  medium  grade  having 
from  2.5  to  4.11  per  cent.,  and  10  we  class  as  high  grade  containing 
more  than  4.11  per  cent,  of  nitrogen. 

From  the  quoted  cash  prices  it  appears  that  allowing  ten  cents  per 
pound  for  available  phosphoric  acid  the  average  cost  of  nitrogen  in  the 
low  grade  goods  here  reported  was  sixty-eight  cents  per  pound,  in  the 
medium  grade  fifty  cents  and  in  the  high  grade  fifty-six  and  six  tenths 
cents  per  pound.  It  will  be  noted  that  all  of  these  high  grade  goods 
were  tobacco  manures,  probably  most  of  them  compounded  with  cotton 
seed  meal. 

This  emphasizes  the  fact  which  we  always  urge  that  the  buyer 
cannot  afford  to  use  low  grade  goods.  Manufacturers  are  reducing 
the  number  of  low  grade  fertilizers  which  they  offer,  and  buyers 
should  always  give  the  preference  to  medium  or  high  grade  goods. 

Guaranties. 

Six  of  the  brands  failed  to  meet  their  nitrogen  guaranties  by 
more  than  one-tenth  per  cent.,  but  in  all  but  one  case  the  money 
value  of  the  nitrogen  deficiency  was  more  than  made  good  by  an 
overrun  in  the  amount  of  phosphoric  acid.

Quality  of  the  Nitrogen. 

In  none  of   the   samples   was   the   availability   of   the  organic 
nitrogen  found  to  be  decidedly  poor. 


78  CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT    STATION    BULLETIN    233. 

NITROGENOUS  SUPERPHOSPHATES   CONTAINING 
POTASH. 

In  Table  XIV  are  given  analyses  of  286  samples  of  this  class  of 
fertilizers  with  the  cash  ton  prices  quoted  by  the  firms  from  whose 
stock  the  samples  were  drawn.  There  are  also  given  22  analyses 
of  samples  sent  by  purchasers. 

Guaranties. 

One  hundred  and  thirty-one  of  the  brands  (45  per  cent,  of  the 
whole  number)  did  not  fully  meet  their  guaranty  in  all  respects. 
Ninety-eight  were  deficient  in  one  ingredient,  thirty-one  in  two, 
and  two  in  three  ingredients. 

In  all  but  twenty-eight  cases  however  the  deficiency  in  one  was 
more  than  made  up  in  money  value  by  an  overrun  in  the  other 
ingredients. 

The  following  did  not  make  up  the  money  deficiency,  if,  as 
seems  fair,  nitrogen  is  reckoned  at  forty  cents,  available  phos- 
phoric acid  at  ten  cents  and  potash  at  eleven  cents  per  pound 
respectively.

13  have  a  still  higher  nitrogen  guaranty. 

It  is  gratifying  to  note  the  relatively  small  number  of  brands  in 
the  'State  which  have  a  low  nitrogen  content. 

As  nitrogen  in  organic  forms  costs  at  present  about  four  times 
as  much  as  available  phosphoric  acid  or  potash  its  cost  is  of 
special  importance  to  purchasers. 

The  relative  cost  in  brands  of  dififerent  grades  is  shown  in  the 
following  statement. 

Phosphoric  acid  is  reckoned  at  ten  cents  and  potash  at  eleven 
cents  per  pound  respectively  (which  has  been  about  their  average 
price  in  raw  materials)  and  the  sum  of  these  values  is  subtracted 
from  the  average  cost  of  the  fertilizer.  This  remainder  divided 
by  the  number  of  pounds  of  nitrogen  gives  the  cost  per  pound  of 
nitrogen — plus  the  costs  of  manufacture  and  sale.  As  these  are 
not  very  dift'erent  for  the  different  grades  of  goods,  the  nitrogen 
cost  per  pound  shows  fairly  its  relative  difference  in  these  different 
grades. 

Such  a  comparison  is  as  follows  :

It  appears  that  the  average  cost  of  nitrogen  has  been  lowest  in  the 
3.29  grade  and  about  half  of  what  it  has  been  in  the  low  (0.82  per 
cent.)  grade.  The  4.1 1  grade  consists  chiefly  of  special  tobacco 
fertilizers  with  cotton  seed  meal  as  the  chief  nitrogen  base. 

Superphosphates  costing  about  $65  were  more  economical  than  the 
low  grade  costing  about  $47. 


So  CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT    STATION    BULLETIN    233. 

The  National  Fertilizer  Association,  composed  of  manufacturers 
of  fertilizers,  has  urged  its  members  to  make  and  offer  for  sale 
fertilizers  with  high  analysis.  The  Association  points  out  that 
this  is  in  the  interest  of  both  buyer  and  seller,  since  the  costs  of 
manufacture  and  sale  are  the  same  in  both  high-analysis  and  low- 
analysis  goods  and  therefore  the  overhead  expense  per  unit  of 
plant  food  is  less  in  the  former  than  in  the  latter. 


Quality  of  the  Water-Insoluble  Nitrogen. 

The  distribution  of  water-insoluble  organic  nitrogen  into 
so-called  active  and  inactive  fractions  is  effected  by  means  of  two 
methods,  both  of  which  are  based  upon  the  action  of  permanganate 
of  potash  on  the  insoluble  organic  nitrogen,  the  one  in  alkaline 
solution,  the  other  in  neutral  solution.  The  results  obtained  are 
taken  as  an  index  of  the  quality  of  the  insoluble  organic  nitro- 
genous material.  Thus  if  less  than  50  per  cent,  is  found  to  be 
"active"  when  the  alkaline  method  is  applied,  or  less  than  80  per 
cent,  when  the  neutral  method  is  used,  the  substance  and  quality  of 
the  organic  nitrogen  present  is  regarded  as  inferior.  That  the 
so-called  "active"  insoluble  nitrogen  is  available  as  plant  food 
is  substantiated  by  vegetation  tests.  The  operation  of  these 
methods  in  inspection  and  commercial  laboratories  is  reasonably 
uniform  but  the  construction  placed  upon  the  results  obtained 
varies  considerabty  in  practice.  Thus,  in  some  cases,  quality  is 
judged  in  connection  with  the  proportion  which  the  insoluble 
organic  nitrogen  bears  to  the  total  nitrogen  present,  and  again, 
it  has  been  suggested  that  the  water-soluble  organic  nitrogen  and 
the  active  insoluble  portion  should  be  reckoned  together  after  the 
manner  of  expressing  so-called  available  phosphoric  acid.  It  has 
been  our  practice  to  judge  the  insoluble  organic  nitrogen  on  the 
basis  of  quality  as  contemplated  by  the  authors  of  the  methods, 
recognizing,  however,  that  the  distribution  of  small  amounts 
(.3  per  cent,  or  less)  of  insoluble  nitrogen  may  lead  to  conclusions 
that  are  without  practical  significance,  and  further,  that  no 
criticism  should  attach  to  goods  in  which  the  total  nitrogen  found 
exceeds  that  guaranteed  by  an  amount  which  equals  or  closely 
approximates  the  inactive  insoluble  organic  nitrogen.  It  is  clearly 
desirable,  however,  that  some  uniform  method  of  expressing 
conclusions  be  arrived  at  to  the  advantage  alike  of  the  purchaser, 
the  analyst  and  the  manufacturer. 

The  following  brands  contained  insoluble  organic  nitrogen,  less 
than  50  per  cent,  of  which  was  found  to  be  "active"  by  the  alka- 
line method  and  substantially  less  than  80  per  cent,  by  the  neutral 
method.

delivered  to  them  or  mixtures  made  for  them  by  manufacturers 
from  materials  and  formulas  prescribed  by  the  purchaser. 

In  Table  XV  are  given  analyses  of  15  samples  with  the  state- 
ments of  the  amounts  of  the  several  raw  materials  used  in  the 
mixture. 

Table  XVI  includes  16  samples  of  which  the  formulas  were  not 
reported  to  the  Station. 

In  general  these  home  mixtures  contain  a  higher  average 
percentage  of  nitrogen  than  the  average  of  factory-mixed  goods. 
They  are  distinctly  higher  grade  and  indicate  possibly  a  conviction 
that  on  our  light  soils,  low  in  humus,  and  with  the  scarcity  of 
stable  manure,  lack  of  available  nitrogen  is  the  fertilizer  factor 
most  likely  to  limit  crop  production.

Sheep  manure  carries,  per  ton,  less  than  twice  as  much  phos- 
phoric acid,  three  times  as  much  nitrogen  and  four  times  as  much 
potash  and  organic  matter  as  horse  manure  contains. 

When  the  price  of  sheep  manure  is  more  than  four  times  that 
of  horse  manure  there  can  be  no  advantage  in  using  it  as  far  as 
fertilizing  value  alone  is  concerned.  Its  dryness,  fine  mechani- 
cal condition,  less  offensive  smell  and  ease  of  handling  are  items 
which  must  be  considered  in  determining  the  economy  of  its  use 
in  individual  cases.

Sample  15445  contained  over  35  per  cent,  of  moisture,  which 
explains  the  low  potash  content. 

Mr.  Joynt  states  that  there  must  be  some  mistake  regarding 
sample  16008  as  other  lots  from  the  same  warehouse  contained 
over  7  per  cent,  of  potash.  This  sample  contained  over  37  per 
cent,  of  insoluble  matters,  which  explains  its  low  potash  content. 
Another  sample,  supposed  to  be  from  the  same  lot  as  the  other, 
16846,  drawn  by  the  Station  agent,  contained  much  less  insoluble 
matter,  but  only  half  a  per  cent,  more  potash  than  the  other  sample. 
Jt  will  be  noted  that  Canada  Ashes  are  very  A^ariable  in  com- 
position and  should  be  bought,  as  most  of  them  apparently  were 
this  year,  on  the  "unit"  basis ;  that  is,  a  price  for  each  per  cent 
of  potash  found  on  analysis. 

The  cost  o£  water-soluble  potash  in  ashes  this  year  has  ranged  from 
2754  to  3254  cents  per  pound.

The  relative  value  of  these  peats  can  only  be  determined  from 
their  dry  matter,  excluding  the  very  variable  amounts  of  water 
in  them. 

The  value  lies  chiefly  in  the  organic  or  humus-forming  material. 
The  amounts  of  phosphates  and  potash  are  quite  insignificant  in 
such  material.  The  nitrogen,  of  which  17157  and  17163  contain 
as  much  as  most  mixed  commercial  fertilizers,  is  only  very  slowly 
available.  It  is  the  residual  nitrogen  which  has  resisted  decay 
and  solution.  Four  of  these  samples  have  enough  organic  matter 
in  them  to  be  of  value  as  absorbents  and  to  mix  with  stable  manure 
if  they  can  be  at  least  half  dried  economically. 

DRIED  SLUDGE 

Four  samples  were  analyzed  for  J.  F.  Jackson  of  the  State 
Department  of  Health. 

17364.  A,  Floated  Sludge,  dried  on  the  ground  for  three  weeks, 
about  one  inch  deep. 

17365.  B,  Floated  Sludge,  dried  on  the  ground  for  three  weeks, 
four  inches  deep. 

17366.  C,  Floated  Sludge,  dried  on  the  ground  for  three  weeks, 
two  inches  deep. 

17367.  D,  Floated  Sludge,  dried  by  heating  in  bucket  over

The  four  samples  are  quite  similar  in  composition  and  value. 
Both  the  nitrogen  and  the  phosphoric  acid  are  in  readily  available 
form  and  the  dried  sludge  would  no  doubt  be  an  excellent  fertilizer. 

MISCELLANEOUS. 

A  sample  of  factory  waste,  16730,  sent  by  A.  N.  Farnham, 
Westville,  contained  1.34  per  cent,  of  nitrogen.  A  sample  of  by- 
product from  a  factory,  17292,  sent  by  C.  E.  Pease,  Thompson- 
ville,  contained  4.02  per  cent,  of  nitrogen.  Of  five  samples  of 
waste  products  from  a  silver-plating  company,  sent  by  N.  G. 
Wheeler,  Winsted,  only  one,  16726,  had  any  considerable  fertilizer 
value.  It  was  a  brown  powder  containing  41.40  per  cent,  potash 
as  carbonate,  muriate  and  sulphate  in  about  equal  proportions.  A 
sample  of  clay,  17516,  sent  by  Miss  A.  B.  Piatt,  Shelton,  thought 
to  be  of  value  as  a  filler  in  fertilizers,  had  no  fertilizing  value. 
95.3  per  cent,  of  it  was  sand  and  soil. 

A  sample  of  clinkers,  16466,  sent  by  A.  N.  Pierson,  Inc.,  Crom- 
well, to  determine  whether  they  had  any  fuel  value,  contained 
moisture  0.15  per  cent.,  organic  and  volatile  matter  1.75  per  cent., 
mineral  matter  98.10  per  cent. 

In  seven  samples  of  soil  the  lime  requirement  was  determined 
by  the  Jones  method,  the  amount  of  actual  lime  needed  ranging 
from  1620  to  4500  pounds  per  acre. 

VARIOUS  FUNGICIDES  AND  INSECTICIDES. 

17319  and  17320  are  samples  of  Reynolds'  Paris  Green  and 
Leggett's  Paris  Green.  The  quantities  of  arsenious  acid  found 
in  them  were  56.50  and  56  per  cent,  respectively,  and  of  copper 
oxide  26.60  and  26.80.     Both  were  of  normal  composition. 

A  sample  of  Lead  Arsenate,  17119,  sent  by  John  Gotta,  Portland, 
contained  28.53  P^r  cent,  of  arsenic  as  arsenic  acid,  which  is  about 
the  normal  amount. 

A  sample  of  anhydrous  copper  sulphate,  16364,  sent  by  E.  M. 
Ives,  Meriden,  was  found  to  be  90.15  per  cent.  pure.  97.1  per 
cent,  was  finer  than  a  200  mesh. 

A  sample  of  formaldehyde  solution,  16946,  submitted  by  Dr. 
Clinton  of  this  Station,  contained  33.65  per  cent,  by  weight  of 
formaldehyde. 

A  sample  of  "Sulco-V.  B.,"  16420,  submitted  by  Dr.  Garman 
of  this  Station,  contained  3.97  per  cent,  of  pure  phenol. 

A  sample  of  Niagara  Contact  Special  Dusting  Mixture,  16740, 
was  found  to  contain  1.62  per  cent,  of  nicotine,  equivalent  to  2.10 
per  cent,  of  nicotine  sulphate,  calculated  as  the  monacid  salt. 

A  sample  of  tobacco  dust,  16741,  sent  by  E.  M.  Ives,  Meriden, 
contained  0.71  per  cent,  nicotine. 

Four  nicotine  mixtures,  submitted  by  Dr.  Britton  of  this  Station, 
contained  respectively  0.29,  0.30,  0.84  and  0.71  per  cent,  of  nico- 
tine.
